Johnnie DelValle 2003 Worlds 1A Freestyle (1st Place)

[kuyaChrischan]

I remember when I first started modern yoyoing 15 months ago, I thought this freestyle was extremely boring because it didn't have the flashy tricks and JD was just standing in one place. But now that I've learned the history and a lot of tirkcs since and this has become one of my favorite freestyles due to its complexity and tech.

Awesomeness.

[Yugiohmaster255]

[0ompaloompaoompaloom]

this is great back when it had to look good for you to win

[jockolong]

he's hot! yum much..but i dont like his hair

[person210668]

Are slack tricks always that common, or did he just like them alot?

[LLCoolZack]

@person210668 he tool slack tricks to another level at that time.

[YoyoScientist]

He got first place cuz girls thought he was hot.

[LLCoolZack]

his style is way more creative than the yoers at his generation

way to go JD

[xxxteamxxx1]

[bailey1901]

i like how at 0:30 he takes off hais vest and everyone goes WOW.

[Jeffatonians]

OMG his hitman spins for ages freakin hell

those massive arms do somthing lol

[multiplemutant]

[TheHitmanpro]

after that he became judge...won 1 year only can become judge....wow

[IsThisSumBattleToads]

@TheHitmanpro

Because they're used to seeing Asians and not muscle-clad white boys...

Hell no, I'm not racist.

[Jordan4139]

this guy is a beast

[AceArcaner]

trash :P im blown away

[HatroVille]

I LOVE JD's style of Play. So much complexity on string.

[adamexo3]

INCREDIBLE



[yoyojonathan4]

this guy is a legend!!!!!

[LLCoolZack]

once again, YYJ takes over

[yoyoguy1994]

@LLCoolZack Noobs everywhere you go..

[amirhamza122]

yeah..I bought a hitman a while ago..couldn't do this but now I know why..I Didn't have the skill, and I'm not Johnnie

Now I'm good though :)

[AimanRohisham]

Slack king!!

[123Emtai1234]

Ok i just rewatch this vid and realized you are a master of slacks thats insane

[TeamOblivionYoYo]

Hitman not X-Con, Hit is way better.

[Alishahensley84]

it's that guy who sung love the way ya lie

[Alishahensley84]

hitman

[IsThisSumBattleToads]

People, seriously. Are you too lazy to look up dates or just ignorant?

This was a YoyoJam Hitman yoyo. Silicone response, a shimmed gap, and a Dif-e-Yo 'Konkave' bearing would be how it was set up here.

Does it matter? HELL NO! Skill won this competition, not any yoyo. Get it through your heads, people. It's the player, not the yoyo. He would have won this competition regardless of what he was throwing.

[aznsin2223]

@IsThisSumBattleToads A duncan butterfly? With duncan friction stickers and an uncleaned bearing?

[Jeffatonians]

@IsThisSumBattleToads id liek to see him do it in a duncan imperial

[BUSTERZEUS1]

@IsThisSumBattleToads i mean come on sometimes it does matter i understand what your saying but you cant win this thing with a butterfly mosquito or any thing like that, but he does have a point a 100$ yoyo and 40-50$ yoyo doesent have an effect, john couldve won this with a freakin legacy or lyn fury ITS ALL ABOUT PREFERENCE

[ink1o1]

@IsThisSumBattleToads what if he was throwing a omega brain

[LLCoolZack]

@ink1o1 don't compare a yoyo in the different style

[123Emtai1234]

yeah thats a x convict i want one O-o

[yoyofreaksdotcom]

@123Emtai1234

I was using a proto version of the original Hitman.

[IsThisSumBattleToads]

Over 7 years and he's still a legend...

Thumbs up if you are excited for the Hitman Pro!

[YoDylan98]

@IsThisSumBattleToads such a good throw

[FormerConvict]

how old is jd?

[yoyofreaksdotcom]

@FormerConvict

I am 24 now. 

[FormerConvict]

@yoyofreaksdotcom Jonnie!? omg, dude *bows down* I AM NOT WORTHY!

[FormerConvict]

@yoyofreaksdotcom haha really bro, that was 7 years ago and you could easily destroy worlds again with that same act...

[BABBYlonian]

stall win

[xXDanitoBGXx]

0:28 rlz! :D

[rtron55]

the day grinds were invented..... beast

[Mista8eight8]

To clear things up, the xcon was NOT made in 2003

[mryamaho]

its a pre-production x-convict

[YoyoJordan1]

this was HIS year

[Germkiller42]

I don't know why but I love JD's style

[aznsin2223]

@zadv251 However I think JD is the slack king for all times because many of the slack moves made today are based off of what JD did.

[ishida2312]

JD is slack king, Andre Boulay is grind king xD yea! :D

[zadV251]

@ishida2312 Hey hey hey... Don't get too cocky when picking the slack king. Let's not forget about Yuuki Spencer

[ishida2312]

@zadV251 haha. i know. i mean like he's slack king in 2003

[codezeropwnsnoobs127]

@zadV251 yuuki sucks

[zadV251]

@codezeropwnsnoobs127 That's not what we wre talking about. And I think he is a great yoyoer.

[Germkiller42]

@ishida2312

oh I don't know about that. JD has some sick grinds under his belt.

[laxmaster96]

love this song

[normalkid135]

wot is a goood yoyo for a beginner??

[TheBlindskater456]

is hitman a good yoyo

[ic33x2x]

@TheBlindskater456 i would recommend it or a dark magic

[TheBlindskater456]

is hitman a good yoyo

[tayweiloon]

i hope i can do those kind of slack.......

[xCHAOTICxJx]

good job, but keep it up

[TheYoyoFactory8]

wow, cool!

[ddazza7447]

it was a x.con

the yoyo was made for him and he was a beta tester annd he won with his prototype yoyo

[ic33x2x]

@ddazza7447 no it was hitman trust me the x-con wasnt created till way after this even the proto's

[ddazza7447]

my bad i looked into it and you were correct. my mistake.

some reason i cant use any plastic yoyoz. i even have a DM but i struggle like hell with it. so i just stick to my Galactic Goose and my Peak

[MBreilein]

Honest answer headed your way, don't read it if you're gonna be a pussy.

It's because you aren't good enough.

[ddazza7447]

maybe not but this was posted about 3 weeks after i started,

and i now have a journey that i modded, witch i use for learning 5A and i can use that fine, i just dont like metal rimed yoyoz like DM and X-Con, ect. but thats my prefrence, ill just stick to what i feel works for me,

witch yoyoing is all down to what yoyo you like best or can use, and as for being a pussy why do you find the need to say that? i dont get offended that easily. you just say that stuff to grow your epenis

[testmodel2]

ムキムキなのにちまちました技が多いｗｗ

[herespoop]

Cod Mw2 trailer and this video have something in common lol!

[Butterscent]

the song is till i colapse by eminime

[MUDFKD]

Song?

*******

by eminem?

[fodica130]

is he was an x con?

[Duckiexzs]

Its kind of a shame. JD is a strong muscular person. But playing yoyo. LOL. Shouldnt he go exercise at a gym or hangout somewhere ? Lol. Maybe he should be a karate teacher or something. For me, what a SHAME.

[tayweiloon]

dun anyhow comment

if u dunnoe him well

=)

[Akon520]

2003= =have no x-con~

it is hitman~~100%

[smoke770077]

Def. a Hitman.. 1)I dont think the X-con and/or X-ConVict were out at this time, and two.. pause it around 30 seconds and look.. Theres more plastic then metal, meaning smaller rims.. Hitman

[tayweiloon]

this were 2003

x -con/convict is 2004 then release

=)

[kaijiex3]

Its Hitman not X-convict u fucker

[Duckiexzs]

Its an X-Convict not Hitman.

[heightssurfer]

[momkk123]

[nyjaj23]

hitman

[IsThisSumBattleToads]

@nyjaj23

Legacy is great too, these days. I have both the Hitman and Legacy and highly recommend them both. Legacy is about half the price though, for what it's worth...

[sAmZy1993]

hitman i think.

[TheRish123]

its eminem -till I drop

[Independentgo]

its till i collapse

[robblomquistgmail]

Smokin' yo play. No huffin', no puffin', just smooth yo yo play.

[ajsaki999]

What is the SONG PLEASE REPLY

[IsThisSumBattleToads]

Seriously, learn how to read and stop wasting YouTube's bandwidth with pointless comments like that.

As if Eminem wasn't already one of the most distinct sounding rappers out there, I figured the gray box that popped up under the video with the music credits would give it away, but apparently, that's too much faith to place in people these days.

Humanity is fucked.

[davidiv123]

you shold watch idiocracy ( i think thats how its spelled). it has some definete possibilieties that humanity will start to run on a down slope cause the rate of the idiots increasing the inteligent people will become extinct.

p.s. i have very poor spelling so exuse me

[cookinator1266]

a fucking greed

[LazyGuy56]

Till I collapse by Eminem.

[cupcakemaster81]

they didnt have kks in 2003 idiot

[smoke770077]

Yeah thats nice...

your name should be cupcakedouche81...

Mna JD was a beast..

[cupcakemaster81]

ya all igh smoke the bea (shizzle)

[preciadobernardo]

smoke 770077 JD is still a beast.

[Balzin1]

Actually, you are incorrect. KKs have been around for a long time. From what I remember, his hitmen for worlds were assembled in the back of a car on the way to the event. KKs and shims in each. They might have been CKKs, but I think he used CKK'd hitmen for nats.

Watch your tone when you talk about things you know nothing about.

[binskiboi]

calm down.

[Ellemennt75]

YOU CALM DOWN! WE SHOULD ALLLLLLLLLL CALMMMMMMMM DOWNNNNNNNN!

Sorry bout that.

[ButterscotchGenius]

Yes, they did have Koncaves in 2003. He used one in his Worlds winning yoyo and his Nationals winning yoyo.

Augie

[catmanyoyo]

is that a hitman?

[yoyomaster39]

wtf 2:56

freakin awsome

[yoyocole7700]

damn he is buff

[headshot5492]

what tricks is that at 2:30

[musicluva451]

a variation of boingy boing

[dianaji]

Iis he in team YYJ

[sourrpatchh]

Yep. He's retired from competition, but he's still part of the team. He designs the webpage and whatnot, and he also judges.

[ProBros101]

is that a HitMan????

[diezel157]

yh but its a all metal one i think ones on sale on ebay right now

[david1yoyo]

yep with a kk shimed and siliconed

[Ebinballer45]

No, only shimmed.

[8asianpride8]

hey r x-convicts any good coz i might get 1

[TigerWoodsFanatic]

they are great yoyo's but you have to be able to bid to return them. if you cannot bind them, either get a hybrid hitman or a dark magic ( i got a dark magic and they are my favorite so far)

[polisgraff]

WOW!!!he left me with my mouth hanging open!!

and for those who compare andre boulay with johnnie,today i realized that they have WAYYYY different style!i was one of them too..this vid passed me to another level i think!!!

[diezel157]

whats the trick at 1:36 ?

[Phytyca6Empire]

thats a hitman right?

[ic33x2x]

ya with red shims in it

[superchickenbob]

amazing, but Yuuki Spener was using a modded Raider!!!!!!

When THP was still here, we would mod saber (stealth) raiders by drilling holes in both sides and filling them with silicone.

Good times

[xxmuneyxx]

that was a hitman

[Ubbbbberfish]

I need another X-Con..

[kevobuddy10]

i thought this was a yoyo competition not a gun show!

[Chippachino]

him and Andre Boulay Are AWESOME.

[cartmanshellonearth]

omg hes da bomb his x convict and hitman rule i wonder y he dosent use his x convixct any more

[renssaludes]

awesome..hahaha.

[ilovetoyoyo97]

Does he use a special bearing or does his Hitman naturally spin that long?

[david1yoyo]

ceremic kk

[ilovetoyoyo97]

Oh...ok

[kenthenoob]

since when did they allow guns at yoyo competitions?

[chicharra93]

were is a gun?

[senioryearleo]

i do believe the OP refers to JD's sizeable arm muscles.

[ratbyn]

I still like DM better though, I think the X-convict is a bit too wide for me, and I like the flat rims.

BTW, Someone practiced a lot.

[ilovetoyoyo97]

Nice slacks and grinds.

[YoArma]

Is this the hitman and what color is it?

btw i love his slacks and grinds =D

[whitecrowproductions]

lol when he takes the shirt off its like hes throwing out more of a sarcastic "stfu" than anything lol xD thats great

[proamr]

best

[bodykitetpls]

what is a song name?

[addict2yoyo]

till i collapse - eminem.

[CoNv1cTeD]

answer please. What color is that yoyo????

[davidiv123]

its either red,yellow or white

[popol7ik]

sooo much slack...

[davidiv123]

ok i have something to say that might upset a lot of his fans ''MAN THIS GUY IS THE KING OF SLACK''!!!

[ballerrepublic]

The yo-yo isn't the point...

Hitman or X-con, he could do it with either.

He's beast.

[percentdaily]

i can' believe how often i watch this video

[MarciusSim]

Seeing so much slack scares me.

[yoyofreak01]

when did the xcon release?

[macdaddyred]

your all stupid unless you say its a hitman

[davidiv123]

hybrid hitman i think. (or is that his later edition of the hitman?) cause on my on it says ''yoyojam hybrid hitman JD//approved 03' regional national world champion'' just sugesting

[macdaddyred05]

its just basically a knockoff hitman he used a stock hitman with a KonKave ceramic and red shims

[davidiv123]

oh ok hanks for the info :)

[macdaddyred05]

no problem =D

[macdaddyred05]

it is an awesome yoyo but wears out fairly quickly

[percentdaily]

my all time favorite yo-yo video. wooo!!!

[kacheron]

but its not any hitman, its a custom hitman, with yoyojam spacers and a inox kk ball bearing, and I think that his response sistem are double flush o`rings

[Ubbbbberfish]

I think he used silicone. But I could be wrong. It doesnt matter what yoyo he uses he just beasts.

[kacheron]

you bet xD

[david1yoyo]

he used a yyj hitman with a ceremic kk shims and it was siliconed

[Ch3sT3R888]

wth fast 201 =="

[toda09]

hey is this the 40 dollar hitman from yo yo jam

[Lacerationz]

your all idiots if you argue over what yoyo he used yoyojam formally announced it was a hitman and now uses it as a sales ploy ...

[jeffreypang911]

He used a hitman. The Xcon would have more metal showing on the rims. I have one right beside me.

Jeff
